The triennial international conference “Prayer and Spirituality in the Early Church” is hosted by the Centre for Early Christian Studies, Australian Catholic University, and was first held in Melbourne in 1996. Each volume of this ongoing series contains selected conference papers from international and Australian contributors.

Twenty-four papers that specifically reflect the theme of Liturgy and Life have been selected for this volume and have been organised into eight sections. The first, Jewish influences, relates the early Christian Church to its Judaean context. The following three sections deal with elements of the early Christian liturgy, namely Homilies, Eucharist, Baptism and the fifth section Shaping the Liturgy, with the development of the liturgy. Sections 6 and 7 examine some aspects of early Christian Thought i.e. The Influence of Augustine of Hippo and Eastern Theology. The final section, under the broad heading of Spirituality, considers spiritual practice in the early Christian, Islamic and Jewish traditions.
